Out of left field....but any Cornhusker history buffs out there?
secretasianman replied to _JT_'s topic in Husker Football
JT - check out the pics of Bobby Reynolds and Fran Nagel in HuskerTape's link. Reynolds played from 50-52 and Nagel was there at the same time, maybe a year earlier or so. Judging by the image names, the pics of these guys were from 1950. The old-school uniforms were kind of cool. Thankfully, the mascot has been updated since 1959: (new Herbie and Lil Red are both preferable to this heh) The origin of the foam corn hat!! -

Coaching Hires thread
secretasianman replied to husker rob's topic in Rumorville: Hirings / Firings / What Ifs
Any information on why Randy Jordan wasn't retained? And who will coach the RBs? -
That was a welcomed surprise. I'm sure Osborne appreciated his words too.
-
That's the same thing my wife said. Well, but not the "b*tch slap" part..
-
I don't think it matters if Miles wants him or not. He's the head coach at Nebraska now. It wouldn't be right for him to go and coach for LSU for one more game.

Did Bo "hint" at Watson?
secretasianman replied to HANC's topic in Rumorville: Hirings / Firings / What Ifs
I didn't feel that you were attacking my comments. I felt that you made some great points. I was unsure of why so many support Watson, and you brought up some good points. -
Did Bo "hint" at Watson?
secretasianman replied to HANC's topic in Rumorville: Hirings / Firings / What Ifs
I haven't heard any evidence against him. I just hadn't heard alot of evidence in support of him. My question came up because I didn't know how much influence he had on Callahan's offense, and the Colorado offense that he ran wasn't stellar. -

hahahahahaha.... good point! -
I Hope Im Wrong
secretasianman replied to BigRedPowerWagon's topic in Rumorville: Hirings / Firings / What Ifs
Exactly. I saw that he made a few posts about how the program would suffer through NCAA recruiting infractions with Pelini at the helm. The overall discipline of the team would suffer and we'd have numerous "run-ins" with the law by players. He didn't point to any evidence to support that... but those were some of the statements he posted. -

secretasianman replied to HANC's topic in Rumorville: Hirings / Firings / What Ifs
Why is everybody so sold on Watson? It is unknown exactly how much influence Watson had on the offense. Callahan called the plays; other than 1 half against Texas A&M. We don't know how much influence Watson had on play selection, or how much of the gameplan was his influence. Yes, he was on the field for the final games-- but again, we don't know what influence that had. With all of those unknowns-- where is the evidence that he is the man for offensive coordinator? -
New Pelini Info
secretasianman replied to huskers13's topic in Rumorville: Hirings / Firings / What Ifs
Yes! But strangely, he was wearing one of those "All in the Family" Welcome back, Turner shirts! -
How divided are we on Pelini?
secretasianman replied to secretasianman's topic in Rumorville: Hirings / Firings / What Ifs
I am with you but I also think that we have speed available. It will be interesting to see what he does with Culbert. Thernarse, Akumura if he becomes HC. culbert to linebacker, thernarse to starting safty, akumura...not sure but that's what i'd think would be done, didn't Akumura have a couple of big hits in fall practice? Don't forget Blue at CB. He showed flashes of promise. Yes even being coached by Elmo! he wasn't in the exercise;) i can't wait to yell(in my best frank the tank voice) YOU'RE MY BOY BLUE!!! hahaha... now I know that I wasn't the only one who thought of that when I saw Blue's name on a jersey for the first time! -
Michigan
secretasianman replied to secretasianman's topic in Rumorville: Hirings / Firings / What Ifs
Iowa fans don't seem to demand too much out of their high paid coach. Ferentz's teams have always seemed just mediocre. They have quality wins here and there, but then there's always the surprise loss to ISU, or Purdue or some other unexpected team. I don't envision Michigan fans really being happy that Ferentz's name is being mentioned. -
There have been numerous "rumors" and "sources close to the situation" threads. Some people have been offended by them, some have found them amusing. These 5 stand out in my mind as the most ridiculous. The ones that had me laughing out loud was the T-shirt one, and the gyno records. Which ones did you find the most entertaining?

secretasianman replied to secretasianman's topic in Rumorville: Hirings / Firings / What Ifs
as the only nay vote, i believe that bo will set us back annother 10 years to be a power again. i'd rather castrate myself then have him as a head coach. Wow. What would you have done if Callahan was retained? -
Lets get past the rumors for a second.
secretasianman replied to Huskerhead1976's topic in Husker Football
I think the talent is there. If we get a good staff here, I envision a " John Blake-to-Bob Stoops transition at Oklahoma" type of turnaround. Since the talent was there, and Stoops had a good staff-- they were able to become contenders quickly. I agree that Ganz would be multi-dimensional, and that we're loaded at RB. Thenarse, Blue, and Culbert are three guys that I'm looking forward to seeing emerge. Also, I wonder which WR will standout like Purify did. -
Now that Miles has taken his name out, what names are being thrown out for the Michigan job?

LSU in NC? what happens

Well, WVU just went down. It'll get interesting now.. -
Old articles about Bo Pelini
secretasianman replied to Husker Runner's topic in Rumorville: Hirings / Firings / What Ifs
Thanks for posting those. That was like a "pep rally" for Pelini! -
I don't need a source...
secretasianman replied to HANC's topic in Rumorville: Hirings / Firings / What Ifs
I thought that too. I figured they were either paying tribute since the defense won the game for them, or they were saying thanks, good bye, and good luck to Coach Pelini. -
Question for the Callahan Apologists
secretasianman replied to knapplc's topic in Rumorville: Hirings / Firings / What Ifs
OK-- there are some narrow minded people here that think "Gee, if a guy thinks Callahan should have been given more time, then he must also think that Callahan is the best coach of all time!!" Most people presented the idea that Callahan needed to go. I simply presented an OPINION, that it's not the only idea that should be considered. Why is that so hard for some people to understand? Bottom line, Callahan didn't meet Osborne's benchmarks--- so why are you beating a dead horse knapp? -
Question for the Callahan Apologists
secretasianman replied to knapplc's topic in Rumorville: Hirings / Firings / What Ifs
Right. But "intelligent football people" aren't who the question was directed at. It was directed at all the people on this board who kept saying we needed to keep BC on board for another year or two. They seem to have gone away. Or they have changed their tunes, and are hiding. Unfortunately, some people only know the one tune. Look a couple of posts above yours. You're not really able to look at a situation from multiple angles, are you? -
Question for the Callahan Apologists
secretasianman replied to knapplc's topic in Rumorville: Hirings / Firings / What Ifs
Just because some people supported Callahan with a new defensive staff, does not mean that they don't know anything about football. That is an extremely arrogant and condescending statement. If you are such an educated football mind, then why aren't you being paid the big bucks coaching somewhere? I didn't support Callahan because I felt that he was the best coach out there. I supported him because I felt that if he hired a new "Pelini-style" D-coordinator, things could have been very different. I supported him because I felt that he didn't have enough time. Prior to this season, there was NO evidence that a defensive meltdown was imminent. In fact, the defense was looking tougher closing out last season by limiting Colorado, Oklahoma and Auburn. Some say he should have fired Cosgrove earlier-- but I challenge you by saying that there was no evidence prior to this season that a defensive change was needed, and secondly, he can't be expected to fire Cosgrove during the season. I felt that keeping Callahan would be a lesser risk than hiring the unproven names that have been mentioned. Giving Callahan 1 or 2 more seasons with a new DC would be an equal risk to a totally new staff. I think that if the staff had met Osborne's benchmarks, Callahan would have fired Cosgrove anyways. Ultimately, the fact is that Callahan could not meet Osborne's benchmarks and there is no argument to that. I support Osborne's decision, however I also feel that Callahan could have turned it around. Why isn't he being mentioned for any jobs?? Easy. His 27-22 record. Is he the best coach out there? No-- he was a first time college head coach who had to learn on the job. He learned in his 4th season that he needs a better defense and that a mobile qb makes his offense better. He learned that he has the offensive weapons in place, and it's time to go and recruit a championship defense. He learned that Nebraska isn't patient. How much time are you willing to give Pelini?
